This beloved melody and text is in good hands with Heather Sorenson in this stylized treatment using 2 violins & a cello as accompaniment. Sung as though it is honoring roots in the Celtic world, this will be a favorite of any choir that finds it in the folder. For an experienced choir and director, it is exciting and not to be missed!
